Knox Goes Away

John Knox is a contract killer who has spent years keeping his distance from his adult son, Miles. When he is diagnosed with a form of dementia that is advancing quickly, he is offered a chance to make amends by saving Miles's life. Doing so means evading the police who are closing in on him while coping with a mind that is losing its grip, and he turns to an old friend, Xavier Crane, for help in staying ahead of the pursuit.

Michael Keaton directs and stars as Knox, working from a screenplay by Gregory Poirier. Keaton also produced the film with Michael Sugar and Ashley Zalta. The cast includes Al Pacino as Xavier, Marcia Gay Harden as Ruby Knox, James Marsden as Miles, Suzy Nakamura as Detective Emily Ikari and Joanna Kulig as Annie, with 38 credited performers in total. It is the first feature Keaton directed, followed by Rode to Ruin.

Released in March 2024, the film runs 115 minutes and mixes crime, action, drama and thriller elements. It is rated 7 out of 10 on IMDb from 30,000 votes and 7 out of 10 on TMDB from 531 votes, indicating a generally favorable response from viewers. A film critics' rating of 5.9 out of 10 from 80 reviews places the professional assessment somewhat below the audience scores.
